My motto is, "Anyone can make cartoons." I believe if you have a good
idea for a cartoon or comic, you should draw it up. Even if you're not
an animator or can't afford expensive animation techniques, you can
still draw it down on paper. And it doesn't matter if you're not a
professional artist or if it's all crayon scribbles or stick figures. Or
if it's just a copy of another cartoon. If you see it as a cartoon, then it's a cartoon.
Or if you can't draw at all, you can just write or type up a cartoon
script, or make characters out of clay or Play-Doh, or make construction
paper cut outs, or put together magazine clippings, or recite and
record a cartoon audio story. There are other great and creative ways
to make cartoons besides drawing if you use your imagination. Sure,
there will be some critics who'll try to find fault with what you make
and tell you to get rid of it and quit, but please don't let that
discourage you. For although there are critics, there will also be some
people who will overlook those nitpicks and see the positive and fun
side of the cartoon you created and the joy it brings them. And if
what you create doesn't make you famous right away, just be thankful
for the small group of fans and people who like your works right now.
At least you're making them happy with your creations. So, this is
why I believe, "Anyone Can Make Cartoons." You can even make them in
the privacy of your mind. And eventually share them with the world.
